Member Testimonials

“The Orange County Arts Council has been an invaluable resource for my professional and personal development as an artist and entrepreneur. Through OCAC, I’ve connected with people and organizations that allow me to provide art education to Orange County youths and I’ve met amazing people that have become friends and speakers in my “DO YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO? the AGRISCULPTURE Community Lecture Series.” I’ve hired arts lawyers I met through OCAC to Trademark my arts business AGRISCULPTURE, and other outside companies have found and hired me through OCAC for various sculpture projects. Through the truly art focused community Orange County Arts Council creates, I’ve been able to both give and receive… a sustainable model within a vibrant arts atmosphere… who could ask for more?!” – Amy Lewis Sweetman, AGRISCULPTURE

“I’ve been a member of OCAC for about 5 years, and I feel like it’s a home base for my essential need to get my work out into the community, and to be a part of such a solid organization. For about two years now, I haven’t been able to do a lot with my art and involvement with OCAC due to the knee replacements and another surgery I’ve had, but I know they are there for me when I’m done with “RE-Hab”. I cannot wait to be back in the swing of things. Thanks for your patience and keeping me in the loop! Anyone lucky enough to be a member needs to count their blessings that there are so many incredible opportunities to thrive as an artist! – Kat Strickland

“I’m thankful & grateful to the Orange County Arts Council for their support of Music for Humanity. The Arts Council instinctively knows that by sharing life’s abundance we all benefit. If you’re involved in creating music, art, theatre, film – anything that helps build the invisible bridges that connect our hearts, then you want the Arts Council on your team. The Orange County Arts Council is truly an outstanding organization. Join them today – you’ll benefit.” – Barry Adelman, Music for Humanity

“Membership to the Orange County Arts Council has been a tremendous resource for me as an artist. I have made connections, experienced synchronicity and further developed relationships that have fostered my creative life both professionally and personally. By supporting this organization with membership, I am a part of fostering the arts here, in this region for my whole family.” – Janet Howard Fatta, Warwick artist

“If you’re thinking about joining, don’t hesitate. For artists it is a necessity so that you are not working in a vacuum and can express your art to more people. For the public, creators create for you, and when you’re a member you get to have more choices of how to participate and be a part of it all.” – Barry Plaxen, Publisher D&H CANVAS Newspaper
